The Day I Fired God as My Life Coach
...and ended my cosmic performance review cycle
Dear God,
We need to talk.
For years, I treated You like a vending machine in the sky.
I did all the things.
I journaled.
I meditated.
I spun my chakras like a well-oiled ceiling fan.
And the deal—the deal—was this:
If I stayed aligned, surrendered my desires, spoke my affirmations, and didn’t cuss too loudly at the moon...
You would deliver.
Right?
That was our unspoken contract, wasn’t it?
I hold up my end by being “spiritually responsible”...
You hold up Yours by opening doors, dropping money, sparking miracles, and handing me my dream life on a lotus blossom.
But here’s the thing.
I kept doing my part—while You kept going mysteriously quiet.
The Transactional Trap
I didn’t realize it at first, but I had turned my entire relationship with the Divine into a performance-based contract.
If I visualized enough, I’d get the relationship.
If I aligned my energy just right, I’d get the money.
If I stayed in “high vibe,” I’d be protected from loss, disappointment, or delay.
I wasn’t relating to You.
I was managing You.
Trying to unlock cosmic rewards through perfect spiritual behavior.
And when nothing happened the way I expected, I didn’t question the contract.
I questioned myself.
I must not have journaled hard enough.
Maybe I missed a shadow.
Maybe Mercury was in microwave again.
It was exhausting.
The Day I Called Bullsh*t
There wasn’t thunder. There wasn’t lightning.
Just me, sitting in my kitchen one morning, tired of feeling like I was always behind on some invisible divine to-do list.
And I said, out loud:
“You’re fired.”
Not because I was angry at You.
But because I realized… I don’t need a life coach who waits for me to earn goodness.
I need a partner.
A witness.
A presence beside me, not a puppet master above me.
What I Took Back Into My Own Hands
I stopped waiting for signs.
I started making moves.
I built a platform, wrote my truth, shared my art, and showed up when I didn’t feel ready.
And slowly—something shifted.
Not because You “finally rewarded me,” but because I stopped waiting to be rewarded.
That’s when the clarity came.
The subscribers.
The sales.
The momentum.
Because I wasn’t looking to be rescued anymore.
I was looking to create, with You at my side instead of over my head.
If You’re Still Waiting for Your Reward
I get it.
You’ve done the work. You’ve trusted the process. You’ve waited and waited for life to finally swing your way.
But babe—
You’re not stuck because you’re unworthy.
You’re stuck because you're still waiting to be chosen by something outside yourself.
Fire the performance-based god.
Promote the quiet presence that trusts you back.
Co-create with that.
P.S.
REFOUNDATION is the most important manual I’ve written—because it was born from lived truth.
It’s not a system or a gimmick. It’s a soulful, step-by-step invitation for women over 60 (and yes, even into your 70s like I soon will be) to actually sit with yourself.
Not in a heavy way. In a powerful, curious, life-giving way.
If you’ve never been taught how to listen to yourself, to build a life that supports who you are now, not who you used to be or who others needed you to be—this guide is vital.
It will walk with you, gently but honestly, through the process of reclaiming your rhythm, your desires, your room to breathe again.
💠 Start your REFOUNDATION here
Because there’s nothing more exciting—at this stage of life—than discovering there’s more of you still waiting to be lived.
P.S.S.
As a bonus: when you purchase REFOUNDATION and begin working through it, you’re invited to join our private Sunday evening Zoom calls. These gatherings are reserved for paid subscribers and Refoundation buyers only.
You’ll have a safe, soulful space—and a community of other women—walking through the guide right alongside you. You don’t have to do this alone. We’re building lives that can hold us now.




That quiet presence is ‘God’, or the Universe as I call it. Whatever it is, it flows through all of us. Great insight, thank you Monica 💕
I love these words and enjoyed reading your work. Good stuff. Thank you.
